I am petite and wear a 32 DD in this bra. Straps don't slip and it is ultra comfortable. I never notice anything uncomfortable during the day.The only bra where after all day I don't have the urge to come home and immediately take it off. I purchased 5 of these initially, probably 6 months ago, and they are still going strong. Very durable. Nice shape.

I've been looking for a different brand of bra for sometime to replace a brand that was no longer working as well for me. The Awareness bra was recommended to me by one of the customer service staff at Bare Necessities and it's a real winner. It fits well, is comfortable, the straps stay up (my chief complaint with my old one) and does what a bra is supposed to do. I also like the color selection.

This bra is the most comfortable and supportive sports bra I've tried so far! I'm a 34DD so it is very hard to find the correct fit and support I need especially while being active. I can straight up do jumping jacks in this bra all day! I love that there are encapsulating cups to keep everything in place. Even the colors are great. I 100% recommend this bra :)

I am always looking for a comfortable bra that my husband appreciates. He has a hard time with bras that look institutional. I wear uniforms in my profession and this bra gives a nice shape under any garment. I can wear it all day with out it pinching. I have had it over a year and it still looks new. The only con is the material was a little scratchy at first but softened up after laundering.

I love my choices and they have proved worthy of their price. The bras wear comfortably all the 16 hours days that I work and I do not feel the pain in my shoulders by the straps that usually dig in and cause much discomfort all the day long!

I saw this bra and fell in love with it a few months ago and decided to 'sleep on it.' Am very happy I finally bought it. Got the pink w/ beige pinstripes and it's just really classy-looking. It's not your regular-looking lacy thing. Then I put it on... heaven! It fit like a dream. Then... I wore it for a while and noticed the straps were slipping. Boo Hoo! The adjustment to tighten the straps slowly loosened up during the day. However, for this bra, it's not a deal breaker. I like it so much that I'll work and fix the straps.

This is a light and supportive bra with no underwire. I use it as a sports bra but also on other occasions. As with other wire-free bras, the lift is not great but I would not trade it for other bras. I wear 42C in other brands and this size fits me in the Anita brand. One slight problem that can be solved is the fact that frequently the nipples are visible with T-shirts. I just put some cotton inside the bra and it works. I would love to see this bra with racer back to keep the straps more firmly in place.

I own several of these and this is by far my favorite bra. It's supportive, gives beautiful shape, is comfortable and LASTS! It holds up so well. I keep them around in different sizes for weight fluctuation and in all of the sizes it is still my favorite bra. Love, love love.

As I stated in my title, the bra is very supportive but for me it does not really minimize. It does provide a nice shape but not a smaller one... I would have preferred a fully adjustable strap. I have it pulled up to the lace/doily thing - minimal slippage.

I ordered this in 30G and 30GG because some reviews said it ran large, but the one in my true size (30G) fit perfectly. This bra gives me the lift and cleavage I desire. I also like the shape it gives me. To those who are considering buying this bra, just note that this is not an everyday bra that can easily be worn under t-shirts.

The material is a bit scratchy, and the cups with or without the included padding, are about a half size bigger than the size listed. it is very supportive but due to fabric less than 4 hour wear from mild skin irritation. The colour and pattern are lovely and i do wear it frequently.

I am 52, and rather suddenly I am more well endowed than I have previously been due to peri-menopause. All of my old sports bras were no longer adequate for support or coverage. I work out at the gym and long distance hike regularly so I need great support. This bra wicks moisture really well and is super comfortable with excellent support and coverage. Sometimes I wear it when I am not working out--it is that good! I went with the 34 D which fits perfectly, but in the Wacoal La Femme T-Shirt Bra and the Chantelle Rive Gauche I am 34 DD. I hope this bra is never discontinued.

I have searched near and far for a good fitting bra once my old fav was discontinued. This bra directs everything where it needs to go, not flat or pushed under my arms. I will purchase a couple at a time over a period of time to build up my stock! It took some time to break in but now it's comfy as a bra can possibly be. Thanks!

The modesty panel is an excellent feature. The color choices are mediocre. The nude and white are useless to me in the gym. Would like to see this in all black, for example. The pink trim fades slightly after repeated washing. The bra stretches out after a year of washing 1 x/week. I have reordered this bra though, because of the modesty panel at the top and the fit. Runs true to size.

I am a 34J, H, G, GG - depending on brand so I had to order a bunch of stuff to find the one that would fit and support. This one did it for me. I had to have my husband hook the back as that was difficult to do but this was very attractive on.
Now the con - and I give this to the whole industry - why would you make the straps stretchy on a person with such a large chest. We need something to hold the girls up so this was not helpful. I had to adjust it very high - could see adjustable thingy towards the front of the suit - and it's not like I'm short - 5'5". But I still think it is good for a season

I'm a size 14 that wears between a 34H and a 36FF. I got the 36 and might need to go down in band size. I will warn you, the suit is very chesty! The plunge shows a bit of my ribcage under the round of the bottom of my boobs, but I'm okay with that. There isn't a lot of support, due to the deep cut on the suit, so I will be relying on my straps a lot to keep things up. I'm hoping that by exchanging to a 34 band, this will help a bit. I bought the skirted bottoms to go with it and they provide cute coverage, but I don't feel like an old lady. The texture of the suit hides a lot of stuff for us bigger ladies, so that alone makes it a good choice!

This is a great top for support without the padding. I could have used a smaller size but I was in a rush to leave for vacation. I also could probably tie the straps a little tighter to push up the top a bit more to avoid pancake boob.

It's always a little risky to order a swim suit online, but I felt fairly confident purchasing this one as it comes in actual bra sizing. I ordered a 36H and it fits perfectly! I can't be difficult to find tops that are supportive enough, but still look cute. This one accomplished both. I am very pleased with my purchase!

The convertible straps are a bit tricky to navigate but once you understand how they clip in and you can wear the bra, you'll be happy. There's a bit of padding for the cleavage effect which I definitely don't need, but it sure looks good under clothes!

The color is beautiful and the fabric is of high quality. I get tons of compliments on the suit. I found the fit to be large in the body and less than shaping or slimming. The bra top is a perfect fit. I ordered the 34FF which is what I was fitted for in a Fantasie bra. The body on the 34 fits like a UK size 16(US size 12. In a 34, I was expecting a fit more like a UK 12 (US 8). The fabric is not quite heavy or sturdy enough to be control or shaping fabric. It is more similar to the fabric of every other non-shaping suit. Additionally, the fabric is thin enough to allow a great deal of show through in the bra top, and in any part that is not perfectly smooth.

I ordered this bra because I needed an athletic racerback bra. I love the colors of this bra. I got the pink and black. It looks great on and it feels very comfortable. The bra is well constructed and feels like it will last. Being large breasted I thought it would rub across my collarbones but so far so good.

This bra is pretty awesome. First its super hard for me to find a bra in my size as I wear a 36H US size(36FF UK size). Its pretty and I really loved the little ribbons on it, but the ribbons don't stretch like the lace does so it squeezes where it shouldn't so I cut the ribbons off and it still looks pretty. Going the next size up might help with that, but then you run the risk that the cups be too big. Its also a really supportive bra and I would definitely buy it again.

This suit is great! I read all the online reviews I could find, and everyone else was saying that this top runs a size small due to the padding on the inside. I am a 36 DD, and I ordered a 38 E (38 DDD in American sizing) and it fit wonderfully. High quality fabric, and the removable straps are very comfortable. No digging or uncomfortable feeling from the underwire, either. It held up to the ocean waves and pool dives without shifting. Would definitely recommend this!!
